MERIDEN — The Jewish Federation of Greater Hartford recently took over the operation and management of Meriden's Temple B'nai Abraham Cemetery, also known as the Meriden Hebrew Cemetery. The cemetery was established in 1887 and was a standing committee of Temple B'nai Abraham. The takeover is a result of the dissolution of Temple B'nai Abraham and its merger with Congregation Adath Israel of Middletown.

Ruth Borsuk, past chairperson of the cemetery, will continue as the cemetery's liaison and will work jointly with Lisa Vaeth, Director of the Association of Jewish Cemeteries, a division of the Jewish Federation of Greater Hartford.

A Temple B'nai Abraham Cemetery Perpetual Care Fund has been established with the Jewish Foundation of Greater Hartford. The fund will provide for the maintenance and care of the cemetery. Donations to the fund will strengthen it and will be much appreciated.

Registration is now open for the Connecticut River Conservancy’s (CRC), Source to Sea Cleanup. This annual event, now in its 23rd year, has grown into one of the largest river cleanups in the country. CRC invites volunteers to continue the tradition of getting dirty for cleaner rivers, Sept. 27-28.

There are three ways for volunteers to get involved in the Source to Sea Cleanup this year: Report a trash site in need of cleaning, find a cleanup group to join, or organize and register a local cleanup group. For more information or to register for the event, visit www.ctriver.org/cleanup .

“The Source to Sea Cleanup strengthens community while cleaning up our rivers and streams. It’s an opportunity for you to make a difference,” said CRC Executive Director Andrew Fisk in a statement. “When people help clean their rivers, they make lasting connections with each other and with their rivers.” The annual Source to Sea Cleanup is a two-day river cleanup coordinated by CRC in all four states of the 410-mile Connecticut River basin (NH, VT, MA, CT). Each fall, thousands of volunteers of all ages and abilities clean the Connecticut River and its tributaries on foot or by boat. Volunteers remove trash along rivers, streams, parks, boat launches, trails and more.

“Source to Sea Cleanup volunteers have worked hard to combat litter and illegally dumped trash,” says Stacey Lennard, CRC Cleanup Coordinator. “Their hard work and dedication makes a real difference for our rivers.” In 2018, more than 2,800 volunteers hauled over 46 tons of trash from river banks and waterways across our four river states. Volunteers remove everything from recyclable bottles and cans, fishing equipment and food waste to tires, televisions, and refrigerators. To date, volunteers have removed more than 1,100 tons of trash from local rivers.

If a group wants to get involved but needs a cleanup site, for information, or to report a trash site in need of cleaning, contact CRC’s Cleanup Coordinator Stacey Lennard at cleanup@ctriver.org. Learn more about the event at www.ctriver.org/cleanup .
